Multi-apartment housing to be built in At-Bashy under state mortgage program

President Sadyr Japarov of Kyrgyzstan has directed the immediate commencement of multi-apartment housing construction in the At-Bashy district, utilizing land allocated for the State Mortgage Company's program. This directive signals a strategic shift in the nation's housing development policy.

During a meeting with local residents, Japarov emphasized the government's move away from allocating land for individual housing construction. "I tell the heads of districts and aiyl okmotu: stop allocating land for the construction of private homes; it’s better to transfer it to the State Mortgage Company. We need to develop not outward, but upward," the president stated.

The State Mortgage Company has been granted 3.5 hectares of land for the At-Bashy project. District authorities report that 5,260 people are on the waiting list for land plots in the district, with 850 of them residing in the district center. The Ministry of Construction permits buildings up to five stories high on this designated land.

President Japarov pointed to the Alay district as a precedent, where a similar State Mortgage Company project on over three hectares is planned to include nine-story buildings. He contrasted this with individual housing, stating, "If these plots were allocated for private homes, about 50 families could live there. And multi-story buildings on the same territory could accommodate about 1,500 people." This highlights the government's focus on maximizing housing density.

The government aims to actively develop district centers and smaller towns through multi-story housing projects, extending beyond regional centers to encompass all regions of Kyrgyzstan. This policy aims to address land scarcity and provide more housing options for the growing population.
